Arrived at the hurtspital at 6:00am and was on the table by 7:15. Not bad. Home by 2:00pm and its a 1 hr drive to the hurtspital!!:thumbup: Not bad again!!! Frankly I am feelin great!! :tt1:I might be sorry:confused: I said that but I really think it has a LOT to do with the kind of care and advice you get BEFORE you go into this. Before the surgery I stepped on ther "official" scale and nearly peed myself:eek:---well I was nearly naked by that time so I guess it wouldnt have been so bad---any way.....I weighed 388lbs. Started all this on April 15th at 465 lbs. I gotta say I am proud as hell of myself. :yikes::w00t::sneaky:Look out world!!!The best is yet to come!!!!:laugh:

Good For You and you should be proud. I have my surgery booked for october 8th... very nervous. Keep up the good work :thumbup:

CONGRATULATIONS! Wow, 80 lbs. pre-band is awesome WL! You should be proud! Sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk! Get in as much liquid as you can and rest up! Best wishes! -BG

WTG!!! That is a great amount of lbs to drop! Keep on keeping on!

I did discover that the "stuff" that the nice ansetesia lady gave me is great!! I asked for a 6pk to go but she wasnt up for that idea. Still feelin good. A bit sore but nothing too bad. Walking a bit and resting. Feels like the aftermath of a good fight and gettin punched in the gut a few times.
